With the re-election of the Labor Government, Australia’s industrial decarbonisation agenda is set to accelerate — and so is the pressure on the mining sector to act.
As the Safeguard Mechanism tightens, mandating lower emissions from Australia’s largest emitters, BOSSCAP Group — the parent company of AUSEV and Advanced Manufacturing Queensland is calling on the resources sector to act. Through its subsidiaries, BOSSCAP leads the charge in Australia for commercial electric vehicle manufacturing is calling on the resources industry to step up.
BOSSCAP has delivered a major breakthrough: The first-ever fully electric, 4×4 mining ute re-manufactured in Australia. AUSEV, in partnership with Advanced Manufacturing Queensland, both of which are BOSSCAP Group owned entities, have delivered a future-ready 4×4 EV with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability.
“The mining sector is under more scrutiny than ever,” said Edward Kocwa, CEO of BOSSCAP. “With Labor reaffirming its commitment to net zero and a more aggressive Safeguard Mechanism, mining operators have a clear choice: evolve or fall behind. Our electric ute gives them a practical, compliant, and future-proof path forward.”
Powered by dual electric motors and backed by a growing national EV service ecosystem, the remanufactured F-150 Lightning combines heavy-duty capability with zero tailpipe emissions. Designed specifically for remote and rugged environments, it is a scalable solution for decarbonising mining fleets across Australia.
The Labor Government’s focus on advanced manufacturing, sovereign capability, and electrification positions companies like BOSSCAP at the centre of a national energy and industry transformation.
“This is about more than vehicles,” added Edward Kocwa. “It’s about reshoring clean-tech manufacturing, creating skilled jobs, and helping one of Australia’s most critical sectors lead on emissions reduction.”
With legislative pressure rising and investor expectations growing around ESG performance, now is the time for mining companies to act — by integrating smart, electric technologies into their core operations.
